New Zealand
Over the last several years the walking group I'm part of has hiked many of the privately run walks offered by kiwis. Bream Head Coastal Walk has a purpose-built lodge, gourmet food delivered daily and a wide range of interesting hikes.

The lodge is very comfortable and our hosts, the farmers who own it, were informative and helpful. Bream head is a lovely spot out of Whangarei in the far north of New Zealand.Another recent hike was the Eastern Walkway at Lake Okataina, near Rotorua in the central North Island. One feature is the old pa site food storage caves, dug out by Maori a few hundred years ago.
The lake is very restful, the 22km Eastern Walkway very beautiful. That is,other than the wasps that wanted our lunches and wouldn't take no for an answer. The Wilderness Lodge at the lake was most hospitable. We were the only guests (10 of us walkers), as they primarily cater for functions, weddings, etc and we did our own cooking. But on our last night we were served a superb meal - we still talk about it. By the way, if you like fishing, the Lodge caters for fisherpeople excellently.Australia
New South Wale's iconic Six foot Track was marked out in 1884 as a six-foot-wide (1.83 meters) track to allow loaded horses to pass each other
while traveling from Katoomba to Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains.
Taking three days and two nights, the 44-kilometer track
starts at the Explorers’ Tree, drops into Megalong Valley and crosses
Coxs River by the Bowtells Swing Suspension Bridge.
Challenging climbs take walkers to the Black Range ridge before heading for the caves. The top photo is the Jenolan Caves, the second - the track itself meandering along and the bottom image is the Three Sisters. The Blue Mountains are a great place to visit.
